Began with Algebra Readiness SummitFormed PLC to discuss issues surrounding

the Common Core

Collaborate on the development of dissemination materials with the help of business partners

Seek agreement on middle and high school course names, essential content, and pre-requisites

Agree to phase in High School coursesSeek agreement on Gifted course offerings and

pathway adjustment due to the increased rigor of the CCSS

Collaborate on the development of middle school compacted curriculum

Seek agreement on pacing and unit content for courses

Share resources and materials developed for teachers to implement the new standards

Standards define what students should understand and be able to do

Clusters are groups of related standards

Domains are larger groups that progress across grades

Precalculus, Calculus, Advanced Statistics, Discrete Math, Advanced Quantitative Reasoning, etc.

Name change heralds the shift in the philosophy, content, and instructional expectations for math students

Numerous names across the state that do not communicate the content of the course clearly

Helps parents understand, monitor, and advocate for the needs of their children

Helps deal with issues of a mobile student population

“PLUS” in the course title reflects the nomenclature used in the CCSS

Multi-district work day Dec. 9th Math I standards divided into 8 unitsSequencing agreed uponNext work day Feb. 3rd Curriculum writers will collaborate across

districts

Unit 1: One-Variable StatisticsUnit 2: One-Variable Equations & InequalitiesUnit 3: FunctionsUnit 4: Linear FunctionsUnit 5: Exponential FunctionsUnit 6: Quadratic FunctionsUnit 7: Systems of Equations & InequalitiesUnit 8: Two-Variable Statistics

Determine which standards to place in Common Core Math II and Common Core Math III

Determine which plus standards to place in CC Math II PLUS and CC Math III PLUS

Develop resources to supplement Geometry and Algebra II so that students taking Algebra I in 8th grade are prepared to take the SBAC test when they are juniors
